Palazzo Bifora

Palazzo Bifora sits at Number 1, Aragon Alley, a lane inside Mdina. The property lies steps away from St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Most visitors view the cathedral and retreat to the city periphery, but this hotel keeps you inside the walls after the day-trippers depart. It provides a more solitary stay than the hotels near The Mdina Experience, where turnover is constant. Staying here lets you avoid the five-minute walk back to the gate, trading the main thoroughfare for the seclusion of the alleyway. The room register runs formal, fitting the historic weight of the surroundings, and the outdoor pool provides an amenity rare in a town where building footprints are restricted to stone courtyards.
